The Incredible Puzzle Thread

Just want to point out that it doesn't have to be an ellipse, it CAN be a circle with A as not-the-center.

Here is an example, and I showed where the center is, too.

I could still assume it's a quarter of a circle/elipse if A were in the first quadrant (Top - left part of the center). It's not, so, in this case AD can't be related to a Radius of an imaginary circle, so, I can't solve this problem if I don't know the lenght of either AB or AC (Nope, either knowing AF or AE will help us in that case, because we'll still missing AB and AC).

This is a thread to discuss some of your other favorite puzzles, riddles, brain teasers, armchair treasure hunts, etc.

Well, it's actually it's own game, but Deadly Rooms Of Death is basically a long string of more or less brain-wrenching puzzles that combined make up the (mostly user-designed) level sets (called holds) for the game.

Puzzle + hack'n'slash galore = WIN, at least for me...

(And there's the online high scores - solving a room in less moves than anybody else is often another puzzle in it's own right... )

Try it, the demo is free, and you can play any of the user-made levels with it - the only difference is that the demo has only one set of level graphics instead of 6 and IIRC less music...

That's not the same as this is your personal knowledge. Knowledge about games which everyone can buy is a different thing and you should be clever enough knowing that already. :O)

I don't know, seems to me to be more a quiz than a puzzle. The way I see it, for a puzzle you're given all the tools. Just asking someone to guess which movie/game/country/language has this or that in it isn't really the same, because either they already know or they don't and won't figure it out.

Well, for a line from a walkthrough you can google it easily, but many would consider that cheating.
